Editor-in-Chief: Stefan Vidal
For over 100 years the Journal of Applied Entomology has been publishing the most current research in applied entomology.
As our field has evolved over time, the scope of research we cover has expanded. Our scope now includes new disciplines and we also publish papers on mites and spiders in terrestrial ecosystems. In 2006 the Journal of Applied Entomology was adopted as an official publication of the German Society for General and Applied Entomology.
